When the spouse of a friend started telling their children that she was stealing from him, the son initially believed it was true. That added a very sad layer of stress and anxiety.

My spouse hasn't accused me to taking or hiding things, but does insist that something that is missing is two or three states away. He calls or wants me to call to have them mail the missing item to us. I keep reminding myself that the behavior is part of his brain not working.

I'm sorry you are in the midst of this. Sending a virtual hug.
